Cincinnati jail break blamed on overcrowding and understaffing
Hamilton County Sheriff Dan Tehan blamed the mass breakout at the Hamilton County Jail on overcrowding and understaffing. Fifteen of 24 escapees remained at large as authorities pursued suspects, with a woman visitor allegedly smuggling a gun to a prisoner. The jail, built in 1917 for 150 inmates, held about 272 with seven guards on duty.

The plan targets oil depletion allowances, capital gains at death, foreign earnings, and depreciation rules.
